WorkOS launches auth.md — an open protocol for agent registration.
Sign-up forms were built for humans in browsers, so how do AI agents programmatically register with services?
Enter auth.md. By exposing a single, machine-readable Markdown file at your service root, AI agents can dynamically discover your OAuth Protected Resource Metadata, parse required scopes, and authenticate seamlessly.
With native support in WorkOS AuthKit, you can now implement this protocol out of the box, giving AI tools a standardized, secure way to log into your application.
Read the auth.md docs.
